Yes. During your consultation, you and your surgeon will discuss all of your cosmetic concerns. Many patients benefit from an additional procedure, like a facelift or a chin augmentation. If possible, we will combine your treatments into the same procedure to help you achieve your aesthetic goals without the need for multiple surgeries.


What is a Neck Lift and Liposuction?
Exercise and diet can be effective methods of slimming down your body’s shape, but when it comes to a “double chin” or a “turkey neck,” lifestyle changes might prove ineffective. At Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates, we offer a neck lift in Jacksonville to contour your neck for a younger, revitalized profile.
Using a neck lift and liposuction, we permanently remove excess skin and tissue, including fat under the chin. With proper care, you can enjoy your refreshed look for years to come!

What To Expect From a Neck Lift
Consultation
To fully understand your cosmetic goals, we will sit down with you for a one-on-one consultation. Your doctor will listen as you explain what you’d like to improve about your appearance. They’ll suggest treatments for your specific concerns, and together, you’ll decide on the right treatment for you.

Preparation
Before starting treatment, you and your surgeon will discuss every step of the process for your neck lift in Jacksonville. Depending on your concerns, you may benefit from combining a neck lift and liposuction into one procedure. We will also help you decide between IV sedation or general anesthesia.

Procedure
To start your neck lift, your surgeon will make an incision just in front or behind your ears. They may also make another incision just underneath your chin. Next, they will use liposuction to remove excess fat if included in your surgical plan. Then, they will trim excess skin and secure the remaining skin tightly.

Recovery
After your neck lift and liposuction, we will review your after-care instructions and schedule your first follow-up appointment. You may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, but these should resolve within a few weeks. Following your post-care instructions will help you recover as quickly as possible.

Your Treatment, Your Way
Using our Treatment Planning Tool, you can let us know about your concerns, and we’ll match you with your available options at Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates.

Confidence is priceless.

Our surgeons are dedicated to helping you strengthen this connection. Looking and feeling your best is essential to living your best life, and here, we help you have it all.
Neck Lift & Liposuction FAQs
While we offer nonsurgical options for making minor improvements, a neck lift can only remove skin that’s loose enough to hang and droop. Similarly, neck liposuction is the most effective way to eliminate fat and transform your neck. Depending on the extent of your neck contouring goals, we will recommend the surgical or nonsurgical options that are best for you.
A neck lift in Jacksonville will permanently remove excess skin, and liposuction permanently removes fat cells. Neither of these procedures will prevent changes in your appearance as a result of natural aging or future weight changes. Fortunately, we will provide you with the resources and knowledge to maintain your results for years to come.
Many surgeons can perform a neck lift in Jacksonville, but only the most experienced board-certified surgeons, like the ones at Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates, can exceed your aesthetic goals.
Board certification, as a professional credential, marks a surgeon who has gone beyond a basic medical license and demonstrated advanced expertise in their field of practice. To earn this certification, a surgeon must pass a series of rigorous written and oral examinations.
The surgeon must obtain a medical degree and complete their residency to even sit for the exams. Many boards also require surgeons to continue their education and take re-examinations throughout their careers.
When you choose a board-certified cosmetic surgeon for your neck lift procedure, you get a surgeon with a superior level of medical knowledge and skill. 4 board-certified cosmetic surgeons make up the team at Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates, each with an extensive history of helping patients create the sculpted profile they desire.
Our leading surgeons, Dr. Courtney Caplin and Dr. Erik Nuveen, are both triple-board certified surgeons. This level of certification exemplifies their unwavering commitment to patient satisfaction.
A surgeon who is triple-board certified has obtained their medical degree, completed their residency, and passed all examinations related to 3 separate fields of practice. Triple-board certification is reserved for only the most knowledgeable surgeons.
Dr. Caplin and Dr. Nuveen are board certified in cosmetic surgery, facial cosmetic surgery, and oral and maxillofacial surgery. Their extensive background and training give them a comprehensive understanding of facial anatomy. As it relates to your neck lift in Jacksonville, our surgeons also know exactly which techniques will create the best results for your unique features.
When you choose one of our triple-board certified surgeons, you can rest assured knowing that you’re in good hands. Our surgeons have an unwavering dedication to safety, precision, and continued learning, and that results in better surgical outcomes for you.
Every patient has different aesthetic preferences, but scheduling a consultation with one of our world-renowned surgeons can help you determine if a neck lift suits your needs.
During your consultation, your surgeon listens carefully as you discuss your goals. They ask you to describe how you want to look after surgery, and you can share concerns you may have about the procedure process. All of this information helps your surgeon form a better picture of your best neck lift approach, and they can recommend other cosmetic procedures to help you create your desired look.
As with any medical procedure, tell your surgeon about your medical history and any medications you take to minimize your risk of developing unforeseen surgical complications.
Your surgeon may recommend a neck lift in Jacksonville if you have loose or sagging skin along the neck or jawline, sometimes referred to as jowls. They may also recommend a neck lift if you have stubborn fat underneath the chin that hasn’t improved with diet or exercise.
Banding, or vertical lines down the neck, also indicates that you may be a good candidate for a neck lift. These lines typically result from weakened neck muscles and skin laxity, which a neck lift helps to correct.
Our surgeons take a highly personalized approach to all facial procedures to craft results that enhance your natural beauty—not completely change your appearance.
No two neck lift procedures look the same. Where some patients want to address unwanted fat underneath the chin, other patients want to create a smoother profile and eliminate neck banding. Whatever your primary concerns, our surgeons listen carefully to your needs before creating your personalized plan.
The surgeons at Cosmetic Surgery Affiliates also use techniques that refresh your appearance without changing what makes you unique. They prefer natural enhancements over dramatic changes, and they strive to create results that refine your features.

Fortunately, our surgeons are highly regarded for their expertise in revision procedures, and they can improve your results from previous surgeries.

Before your procedure, your surgeon evaluates your skin elasticity, muscle tone, and overall profile. This helps them choose the right technique for your neck lift in Jacksonville. Regardless of whether you want to tighten the platysmal muscle, minimize deep fat deposits, or remove excess skin, our surgeons can create lasting results that complement your natural features.
With their extensive surgical background and expertise, our surgeons also know how to avoid common concerns that come up during neck lift procedures. By preventing issues like visible scarring and unnatural contouring, our surgeons help you enjoy restored definition—the first time.
Many patients find that the fall and winter seasons work best for a neck lift procedure. These months tend to involve a slower social schedule, giving you the privacy and downtime you need to rest before large social gatherings.
Cooler weather also makes it more comfortable to wear higher-necked clothing to conceal your incisions as they heal.
Aside from the seasons, the best time of year for a neck lift in Jacksonville is whenever you feel prepared and confident. Our surgeons can help you determine your optimal neck lift timeline during your initial consultation.
Patients can expect swelling and bruising around the neck and jawline areas immediately after surgery. This side effect of the healing process improves throughout your recovery. We recommend wearing any provided compression garments at all times, aside from when bathing, to minimize swelling and support your new neck contour.
During your recovery, our surgeons recommend resting and avoiding all strenuous exercise. These activities can disturb your incision sites. Instead, you can incorporate light walking into your routine to promote circulation.
Our surgeons provide a detailed guide for recovery, which includes information about how to care for your incisions effectively. Your surgeon also prescribes medication to help you reduce discomfort. Be sure to attend all check-ins and take all medications as prescribed by your surgeon.
Most patients notice swelling subside within the weeks following their neck lift in Jacksonville. Our team can provide multiple products in-office to help with bruising and swelling. These curated options have active ingredients including arnica montana and bromelain. These naturally-sourced ingredients provide anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving benefits.
We also recommend antimicrobial products during the healing phase, and eventually scar cream to hydrate skin, protect it from UV damage, and reduce any residual lifting and hyperpigmentation.
Stronger neck contours and a smoother profile typically become more visible within 3 to 6 months after your procedure. Many of our patients feel comfortable returning to social activities within this time period.
